Clinical experience is a prerequisite for determining whether research findings are relevant for use in practice, whether as general measures for a specific patient group or as measures for individual patients [ 19].
Knowledge of the pattern, or most importantly of what was usual for the patient, appeared to be a prerequisite for deciding whether to act when the threshold was reached, and whether to respond to the pain score alert.
Analyses of biologically replicated samples are prerequisite for evaluating whether an identified differential gene expression pattern is in fact a response to a particular treatment, or not.
Measurement of the quality of care is a prerequisite for determining whether quality of care is improving.
An initial voxel threshold was set at t15 > 5 as a prerequisite for subsequently assessing whether clusters survived correction for multiple comparisons [at PFWE < 0.05; see Brett et al., 2003; Friston et al., 1994], as reported for our whole-brain analysis.
However, the degree of such expression appears to be unrelated to the likelihood of disease regression, raising questions as to whether receptor overexpression should be a prerequisite for cetuximab treatment and whether the drug interacts with additional molecular targets (Cunningham et al, 2004).
Transparent information about cost and quality of care is a prerequisite for choice, independent of whether the choice is made by individual consumers or purchasing agencies such as insurers.
Therefore, we aimed to assess whether bats have cones, a prerequisite for daylight and colour vision, and whether the cones express different types of opsins.
However, studies like ours are necessary prerequisites for determining whether serpentine endemic and non-endemic species differ in reproductive or competitive capabilities (e.g. Imbert et al. 2011) due to differences in physiological response to soils.
In summary, face landmarking is a prerequisite for face normalization and registration whether in 2D or 3D.
As vascularisation is a prerequisite for tumour growth, we examined whether p16 affected angiogenesis.
